Bobby Orr

Robert Gordon "Bobby" Orr is a retired Canadien hockey defenseman. He played for the NHL teams Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks. Orr inspired the game of hockey with his command of the two-way game, which was unique for a defenseman. Defensemen with goal scoring ability were not common in the NHL prior to his arrival. In his first professional season although missing nine games with a knee injury he won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's outstanding rookie. An injury to his right knee limited Orr to just 46 games in the 1968 season, but he nonetheless won the first of eight straight Norris trophies. In 1970 he did the unthinkable, becoming the first (and to date, only) defenseman in history to win the Art Ross Trophy as the league's leading scorer. Besides the Norris and Art Ross, Orr also captured the first of his three consecutive Hart Trophies as regular-season MVP and later won the Conn Smythe Trophy for his playoff heroics, being the only player in history to win four major NHL awards in one season.
